When I look at this blog section,
I see a lot of young men who need guidance that only an older Korean brother can provide.

I reckon that every man, has a real man inside them, they just a good Hyung (older brother) to give em a good slap in the head.

Over the many years, I have been blessed with many great hyungs who gave me guidance and love as only a good hyung can, sometimes with looks of 'wtf where you thinking' coupled with a good kick in the ass or taking me out drinking to get wasted and just sympathize with me.

Don't expect me to be nice or get into some semantic argument with you or try to convince you.

I will tell you straight with true love between brothers and if you don't listen, then continue to be the pussy that you are.

If you ask, I will answer, and I will be your Hyung. ^^

*ReOpening of Thread*

MightyAtom in Zurich Jan 29, 2014

Hey,
I'm in Zurich right now, meetings etc. But since I am still jet lagged, I have 2 hours every morning to write before I start my actual work. So, while this thread is something like 3 years old or something, I said one day I'd re-open it. So it's open!

Please try to read through the thread first before asking me something, my thoughts haven't changed. I've been outside of Korean now for nearly 4 years, so maybe there are things different now; I mean even I have 2 kids now instead of 1 lol.

Last off, I will be sincere in my responses, give me some time to respond though because my schedule is far more busier than it's ever been and I'm not as robust as I use to be, it has been an extremely rough rough 3 years. I'm staying in Zurich until Monday, so you have until Monday evening to ask until I fly out and this thread gets locked again for another 3 years. ^^

But I do want to say...for those who think they don't need an older brother or that kind of figure, I'm not trying to be that for everyone and say, hey I know all, listen to me,-I'm not here because I need anyone's respect or need to feed my ego- reality is I have very very few close friends as a choice- but for those who need a hyung's advice, I will be your hyung here on TL for as much as I can be.

None, it's over, move on, wait for the next sogating and make a better impression, remember, in Korea, there are many many fish in the sea.

Master,
Why does so many Koreans who come back after serving in the military for almost 2 years not look like they are physically fit at all?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

1)Do you have any irl friends? Im talking about buddies who've become like blood brothers. Have they ever told you that sometimes you might come on too strong? Or do you feel that a real man should be as"out-there" as all your blogs suggest you are?
2)What do you think about the role God should play in your life and the decisions you make. esp at a younger age(mid 20's)?

They eat very little protein and eat lots of shin ramen (the army is the biggest buyer of shin ramen) and in their last year, depending on their division, they usually aren't doing that much exercise. But, they do come back thinner and stronger, but they just don't look it. After 5 months out of the army, any possible physical gains are destroyed by playing scbw with friends at pc bangs.

so by not listening to your advice...i am a pussy? And prior to heeding your advice i am also a pussy? So if the above 2 questions are both yes, then your calling the whole TL site a bunch of pussys?

1. Its different if you are the hyung or friends. As a hyung, you always must tell them straight up and out of respect they will listen, if not agree, but it won't ever affect the relationship as hyungs are expected to say such things. As close friends, you know your friends well, and as Korean, its simply very buddy buddy friendly all the time, as they totally understand you. But in Korea, if a close friend tells you advice because they really think you need to, they will tell you the right thing, even if it fucks up the relationship because, caring for your friend is more important than the friendship itself. If you need to sacrifice the friendship to clearly tell your friend (who for that moment has lost their normal senses), then as a Korean close friend you will. Knowing in time, your friendship will come back.

2. God is very important, but don't speculate too much about God. You pray to God, but don't go looking for God's hand in everything you do. You are still a young man and God gave you a life to live. Otherwise, simply love others as God has loved you and the rest will work itself out. But don't forget to pray sincerely and regularly, even it is uber short and read the bible, at least the New Testament from start to finish, if you haven't then everything is just bs speculation. In Korea, if you talk about God, I'd assume you're Christian.

Don't take offense, you missed the ^^ part and stop with this bs line of logic,
my intent is be your hyung, not to call you a pussy.

^^
Because you think that women are not human as well, you think of them as something inherently special that their bodies, smiles and looks make them somehow special.

Ok, women are great, but they have the same or more doubts, insecurities and need for love, romance and complements. No random woman I ever talked with turned down a sincere comment about how good they look.

But I'll leave you one clear message that will solve things for you.
Women generally don't know what they want, even when its right there.
Remember that.

Don't assume women know what kind of guy they really want or are ready to judge. They are just humans.

But on a side, note, never ever talk to women randomly in Korea, they would think you are nuts, in a night club ok, but not on the street or supermarket, that is why we have sogatings, meetings and MTs. ^^

I'm not a dating specialist or some idiot who spends time thinking that picking up girls is a good hobby and way to spend their free time, but if you feel like you need to speak to women, just do it, after all, they will never see you again and why live with this regret if you feel you need to speak to random women. Just say the first thing you want to them and don't care about the reaction.
